August 16 Venus will be in an awkward aspect with Neptune similar to what was taking place August 4 & 5. Your imagination seems more real than so called “reality.” If you’re wondering how that person sees you or feels about you, now is not the time to have that discussion. Wait until tomorrow.

August 16-18 (at 12 p.m.) Venus and Jupiter are conjunct in Leo! This is an excellent aspect for romance, fund raising, parties, celebrations and just having fun for the fun of it. It’s likely that there will be great food to indulge in. Have you seen the film called, “Chef,” yet? It’s a feel good movie and fits in with this aspect.

August 16-18 Mercury is opposite Neptune in Pisces is a sure indicator that communications are apt to be confusing.

August 18 the Sun is in a nasty aspect with Pluto which means it’s likely that you could have a run in with an authority figure.

August 19 Mercury is in a fine aspect with Jupiter releasing your sense of humor.

August 19-21 Mercury is in a favorable aspect with Pluto offering you insight and expanded awareness. This would be an excellent time to write a political speech which has power to convince others of your point of view.

August 20-21 Venus will be in an awkward aspect with Pluto which brings about the concern for working out karmic relationships which are holding you back from being completely free to be yourself in the present moment.

August 21-23 (at 10 a.m.) Mars will be awkwardly aspecting Uranus which as you hopefully realize by now is known to Astrologers as, ”an accident prone time.”

August 23-September 22 the Sun enters thoughtful, clever, earthy, practical, Virgo at 12:46 a.m. on August 23. School begins and we are all back into routine again which is imposed by the external world making us all more aware of children and their needs. I remember taking classes when my son was young, called, S.T.E.P. which means systematic training for effective parenting. I took it twice as it shifted around how to communicate effectively, and I surely needed that, then.

August 23 the Sun will be in a challenging aspect with Uranus bringing out the rebel in you and me. You’re seeing how things could be better even though it will cause some kind of reaction in someone. However, there’s something you need to say.

August 25 the New Moon takes place at 11:13 a.m. with the Sun and Moon at 2 degrees of Virgo. It just happens that Neptune is at 7 degrees of Pisces causing the Full Moon to be one of confusion and drug over doses. Check in on those you are concerned about, they are more vulnerable right now.

August 24-26 Venus will be in a difficult aspect with Saturn indicating disappointment in a relationship.

August 25-27 Venus is in a difficult aspect with Mars which causes an imbalance between the receptive side and the assertive side of each of us. This is especially true if you were born with these two planets out of sorts at birth. Try to avoid manipulating circumstances to make things go your way.

August 27-29 the Sun will be opposite Neptune bringing about more confusion and doubts in regard to trust issues. be careful and observe before trusting someone. You don't want to be played for a fool or taken advantage of and lose money, do you? be smnart not naive or overly idealistic....right now.

August 31-September 3 the Sun will be in a super fine aspect with Pluto. You can overcome an obsessive addictive pattern now. The planets are aligned for your confidence and courage to expand and grow into a new phase of your life, if you ask for help from the realm of the Divine. You will receive the help you seek. This aspect brings about opportunities that you have been hoping would come to you. Now it's up to you to..." go for it." A new job or project that starts now will be, for sure, successful!!! YES.
